Ethernet Smooth Stepper.
« on: December 03, 2014, 03:13:43 AM »
Just a heads-up for those using the Ethernet Smooth Stepper.

The beta version of the ESS Mach4 plugin has now been released http://warp9td.com/index.php/sw

A huge thanks goes out to Greg for all his continuing hard work with this plugin, which is available free of charge, and I sincerely hope that increased sales of the ESS more than pay him for all the time he has dedicated to this product.

Thank you both for your kind words!  Your support of the product means a lot to everyone.  I'm really happy to be part of the Mach4 revolution.

be cautious before you load this mach4 driver. It changed the bootloader signature on the ESS and now the Mach3 driver will not load. So until there is a re-compiled Mach3 driver which I assume Greg will create really soon, I wouldn't be even attempting to use the driver.

I'm really sorry to hear about that happening.  It is the first time I've ever heard of that happening.  I really don't think it is the plugin that did it.  I think it is just coincidence.  It uses the same loading mechanism as Mach3.  The signature is a CRC, and the bootloader is evidently corrupt.  Can you run Mach3?  I'll get this fixed for you.  Please contact me at support@warp9td.com if the problem persists.

Hi Scott.  MPGs are really high on the list.  I need to get the outputs working first.  As soon as that is resolved I will get MPGs added.  And then spindle.

Thanks,

Greg
